Billboard

Visitors

The Düsseldorf and New York-resident Swiss artist Beat Streuli was chosen for the sixth project in the "Billboard" series of exhibitions for Austrian Airlines and gewista. In his work "Visitors" the artist put together a series of photos which he had taken of typical tourists in Vienna (they could just as easily have been tourists in any other city).

The billboards were shown on approximately 3,000 billboards in Vienna from December 1996 for about two months. In co-operation with Europlakat, the project was for the first time extended to other European cities on a smaller scale: Berlin, Frankfurt, Zurich, Budapest and Prague.
